September 2, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

When I first started researching natural health options over a decade ago, to help find a natural way to remission from the Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis I’d had since I was 2, I never realised the rabbit hole it would take me down. I wanted to learn about nutrition and about how the body responds to…

Superfood Chocolate Bark

August 9, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’d like to say I followed the rule of moderation with this but I’ll go ahead and blame it on pregnancy and confess that I made this at 7am and by the time it had set I had eaten about a quarter! Oops! It’s just so delicious, and after all, I am trying to increase…

Chocolate Raisin Cookies

June 29, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I do love a cookie, me. There’s nothing like a cookie with a cup of tea, and they’re just so easy to reach for in the afternoon when that dip starts happening. They’re also great for baby led weaning (just omit the raisins) and as a snack for those peckish kids who seem to eat…

Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

June 19, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Always one to attempt a new chocolate chip cookie, I deviated from the foolproof recipe I felt confident enough to label Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are made with oats, and I made these, with buckwheat flour.
